IEEASURING INSTRUllIEhl'T FOR SIZING AND, SOB-TING- DISKS R ROLLERS.

Application filed April 17, 1923.; Serial No. 632,731.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, KARL OSKAR a subject of the King ofgsweden, and re siding at London, England, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Measuring Instruments for Sizing and Sorting Disks or Rollers, 'of which the following is a specification. 7

The subject of this invention is a meas- 10 uring instrument for sizing and sorting disks or rollers for use in disk bearings.

The instrument according to the inven tion, which is suitably disposed between a filling chute or'the like and a receiver, comprises two metal bars, strips or the like having opposed gauging faces spaced apart and diverging towardsone end, the distance apart of the bars at one or both ends being adjustable so that the disks or rollers as they are fed singly or otherwise from the filling chute between and along the gauging faces are automatically graded and fall between them into appropriate pockets 'ofthe re ceiver. a

The invention is illustrated in theaccom panying drawing in which Fig; l is an elevation of. the instrument showing the fillingchute and feeding device in section; Fig. 2

filling chute being omitted. Fig. 3 is, a transverse section. Fig. 4 is a part plan view showing a modified form of the instrument suitable for sizing disks or rollers,

over a diameter oblique to the normal axis.

Referring to Figs. l to '3 of the drawing,

the instrument, suitably disposed between filling chute a or the like (which may be provided with adjustable guide faces a) and a receiver 6 having a plurality of pockets 0 into which the graded disks or rollers may fall, comprises two metal bars or strips (Z and re with opposed gauging faces d, e, such faces being adjustable ver g and adjustable laterally by rotation of studs h, the bars diverging towards the end remote from the filling chute, so that the filling chute a between and along the faces d, 6, are automatically. graded and fall or rolleris a plan view also partly in section, the

tically by rotation of studs 7 on a support disks or rollers 71 as they arefed from the V 7 between the bars into pockets 0 of the re LEON,

ceiver corresponding to their size For feeding thedisks orrollers along the bars (Z, a

between the faces d, e there is fitted in an extension of theifilling chute a plunger 7 Z or the like adapted to be reciprocated'by means of an eccentric m or: the like acting on a spring-pressed rod 92. The plunger proper is detach-ably secured tothe rod n by a bolt Z and is preferably formed with its face 0 slightly undercut or arranged at an angle or otherwise to serve momentarily to tilt each disk or roller into contact with the preceding disk or rolleras it is pushed forward so as to produce a small air gap between the disks and prevent them from adhering to one another; The disks, as they are fed forward, are measured by the bars over adiameter at right angles to their normal-axis. V V

In the form shown in Fig. 4 the operative facerof the plunger is inclined to the easy direction of movement of the disks or rollers whereby theyare fed along the bars at a definite inclination to the path of travel and are measured'over a diameter-oblique to their normalaXis. g h The measuring instrumenttmay, 1f desired, be subjected to a vibratory motion at" one end, sons to prevent one or more of the disks or rollers from interferin with others a 7 u b a and preventing accurate graduation.

What I claim is g i l. A'mea'suring instrument for sizing and sorting disks or rollers comprising a pair of bars having opposed diverging gauging surfaces and .a feeding device at one end of said instrument, said device comprising plunger, and means for imparting reciprooatory movements to said plunger in a direction parallel to the feed of the rollers.
